What is the debt snowball method?

Pay minimums on all debts, then throw extra money at the smallest balance first. When that's paid off, roll that payment into the next smallest. You pay more interest overall, but the quick wins keep you motivated.

What is the debt avalanche method?

Pay minimums on all debts, then throw extra money at the highest interest rate first. This saves the most money on interest. Mathematically optimal, but the first payoff can take longer.

Which method saves more money?

Avalanche always saves more on interest because you're eliminating the most expensive debt first. The difference can be hundreds or thousands of dollars depending on your balances and rates.

How much extra should I pay?

Even $50-100 extra per month makes a huge difference. The calculator shows you exactly how much time and interest you save with any extra payment amount.
